2015 – Chablis
Straight to the point: 2015 is a delicious vintage in Chablis. Given the warm ‘sunshine’ year, it is no surprise that the wines have an aromatic and flavour palette that is a little larger and riper than you might describe as ‘classic’ – but no more than a handful… Read More

2018 Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaillons*
*Plus some sub-climats of Vaillons. The 2018 vintage across greater Burgundy has provided us with some lovely chardonnay – and in some places, the balance is far more interesting than what was achieved in certain villages for pinot noir. Not all Chablis from the 2018 vintage is classically steely and… Read More
